Hello basketball fans,
With the Toronto Raptors defending their NBA title, 29 other teams will attack to take the Larry O'Brien trophy from them.
Will the Raps defend or will there be a new NBA champion?
Also, all hoops fans can chime in on the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup tournament as the United States will go for a three-peat in China from August 31 to September 15 and their sixth consecutive major tournament overall (three Olympic Gold Medals to go along with their two FIBA...

Okay folks, here's another season of hockey for the National Hockey League and American Hockey League.
And of course, hockey fans will also chime in on the IIHF World Junior Championships in the Czech Republic and the IIHF World Championships in Switzerland.

Alright everybody, it's another edition of FIFA World Cup action.
This time, the 2022 FIFA World Cup edition will take place in Qatar from November 21 to December 18.
Qualifying will start on June 6, 2018.
Qatar qualified as hosts. Who will be the 31 national teams to join in as the Middle East makes their World Cup hosting debut?
And will France successfully defend their title or will there be a new champion?

Anyone watch this? Thought it suffered from the same issue as the new Jimmy Kimmel "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" -- too much schmoozing and chit-chat, not enough game play. If you need to fill 2 hours, get more players.
Thinking Conley is the favorite now, though LaVine was impressive.

New season starts in two days.
Few things:
• Barrett looks really good. He did in Summer League too. He's not really that athletic but he's going to be very good, especially when his 3 improves. Fills up the box and his defense has been solid.
• Knox has clearly gotten stronger. In pre-season he's been much better at finishing through contact.
• I don't like all these vets they signed. Less is more in basketball. I think it could be an issue cause Fizdale is going to want to win...

Will anyone derail the Golden State Warriors of a three-peat?
Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and the Dubs will attempt to win three consecutive NBA titles, the first since the Los Angeles Lakers did it in 2000-2002.
We will also have more 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualifying action from June 2018 to February 2019 to determine which 32 team will compete in that tournament in China from August 31-September 15.

Newsday said that before the last two minutes, the G League will only have one free throw attempt at a time. If the player would have been entitled to two or three attempts, the one free throw is all or nothing.

The United States has 8 regionals. 5 have 6 teams, 1 has 7 teams, and 2 have 8 teams. That's 53. California and Texas get 2 teams and the other 48 states and D.C. get 1. Last year nobody replied. The Regionals are from August 1 through 10. The Mid-Atlantic Regional has 6 teams, including 2 within 35 miles of Yankee Stadium. They are:
Newark National in Newark, DE (in northwestern Delaware near University of Delaware)
Fruitland in Fruitland, MD (in southeastern Maryland one town...

BU coach David Quinn tapped to take over on Broadway. Played briefly with the Binghamton Rangers - hopefully this works out better for all parties involved.

(Also, hopefully his tenure isn't limited to 2018).

Hello fellow hockey fans.
It's another season of hockey in both the National and American Hockey Leagues.
Of course, we will also talk shop on the 2019 IIHF World Championship tournament in Slovakia.
From the puck drops in both the NHL and AHL season openers to the teams raising both the Stanley and Calder Cups, you can talk hockey here.

There's a topic for the World Cup. I decided to start a topic for clubs. You can post about clubs from any country in any competition (domestic or a champions league), players changing clubs, and when matchups are made for a tournament. Every club in the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League and its qualifying rounds is known except for the Polish champion, who will be decided on Sunday. The Group Stage will have 32 clubs. 10 of them come from qualifying rounds, and the 22 known clubs are:
